One Last Bitch About the Ouran Dub...

starvinbohemianOkay, I've now watched the first two dubbed episodes at the Funimation website here.
I don't like any of the voice acting choices, and that's unusual. Caitlin Glass as Haruhi in particular irks me, because I think Glass is playing her too rough (bitchy) for a character that's supposed to be (believably) adored by everyone she encounters.
I don't understand why the opening and closing songs were redone in English. :/ I haven't noticed them do that for other Funimation animes before, though I'm sure they must have. Probably for Shin-chan? Still. Odd.
Clarification: When I dissed Vic Mignogna in my last entry, I did so without remembering who he is. *FacePalm* He's the English voice for Ikkaku in Bleach and (more importantly) Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist! I swear I knew that. I think he's excellent in both those parts (particularly as Edward), but I stand by my belief that he sounds all wrong as Tamaki. Then again, if he had used his "Edward" voice, I think that would have been great. Why didn't you do that, Vic?
And for my final bitch about this dub: the worst offense after voice casting was changing Haruhi's closing line of the first episode to: "I'll just call everyone 'dude' and 'bro' now!" *EyeTwitch*
